Announcing a short course! ifp.org/economics-of-i… Pierre Azoulay (@pierre_azoulay) Matt Clancy (@mattsclancy) Janet Freilich Ina Ganguli (@inaganguli) Ben Jones (@bfjo) Chad Jones (@ChadJonesEcon) Kyle Myers (@KRoyMyers) John Van Reenen (@johnvanreenen) + me (@heidilwilliams_)
📢 Future episodes of @POID_LSE @POID_cast have interviews with @heidilwilliams_ @PMoserEcon @bfjo @ufukakcigit @pierre_azoulay @XJaravel Naomi Lamoreaux buff.ly/3PwkiA7 (Spotify) buff.ly/46te8HT (Apple) @ruveyda_gozen
The Ryan Institute on Complexity is launched! An investment in innovation research, and in the ‘lab model’ for social science. Huge thanks to the Ryan family for betting on this work. And I’m so excited to work with @dashunwang and @UzziLeadership to take this forward.
Great piece - and great advice for those looking for high return research directions.
How can we accelerate scientific progress? New piece from @mattsclancy @CorreaDan @jddwor @PaulFNiehaus @calebwatney + me in @nature arguing we need more “use-inspired” science policy research. Here are the quick highlights…
Are ideas are getting harder to find? Join @andreamvaldez, @adamleealter, @dashunwang and I this morning to discuss! Online access to the Atlantic Progress Summit is here: theatlantic.com/live/progress-…
The Atlantic piece integrates recent entrepreneurship research (my work with @pierre_azoulay, @jdanielkim, and @jmirandal) and two, great Age of Mass Migration papers from Marco Tabellini and the team of @SMGSequeira, @DrNathanNunn, and Nancy Qian. (3/3)
The notion that immigrants take jobs stands at the heart of economic fears over immigration. But recent evidence suggests that we need to flip the narrative, because immigrants create more jobs than they take. (2/2)
Am delighted to share a new piece in the Atlantic on the theme that “immigrants create jobs” (1/1) theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
A 🧵 about voting rights, judicial elections, and an informed electorate:
Chicagoans: If you never know what to do in the ballot box when you get to all those judges….

@RyanReedHill We are so excited you are joining us!
When you and your collaborator show up wearing exactly the same thing. We must be aligned. Or are we missing a novel perspective? Thankfully @dashunwang did not wear a scarf
@Afinetheorem @open_phil A great opportunity for researchers interested in innovation. See NBER page here: nber.org/innovation-res… Please share with PhD students and junior scholars! A big thank you to @open_phil for making this possible.
Here is the latest magazine issue from the National Center for Women & Information Technology. Lots of discussion around age/ageism in technology and innovation, incl a nice summary of some of my research.

The U.S. and the world greatly underinvest in R&D. See “Science and Innovation: The Under-fueled Engine of Prosperity,” which reviews the stakes, the latest evidence, and the policy opportunity: kellogg.northwestern.edu/faculty/jones-…

Starting soon! Exciting new innovation research is being live streamed at NBER today and tomorrow (12pm-5pm EDT both days). Program: nber.org/conferences/si… Live stream: urldefense.com/v3/__https://w…$
#4 What can do we do about it? Economics can look to the hard sciences for many lessons. See ideas here: aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…
#3 Deciding who deserves credit on a given team is really hard… and opens a wide door to bias, whether in tenure decisions as in Sarsons et al. (2021) (below), in grant money, or in prizes.
Here is a new JEP piece on the rise of research teams, with messages for economics. The short story is: #1 Research teams have big benefits. Coauthored papers have increasing impact advantages, and solo-authored work is increasingly rare – in economics and other fields.
